Has anyone taken a cruise to the Bahamas on Carnival's Fascination ship?

I'd like to know about excursions and activities you have done on and off the ship and if the fees were worth it. Also, any other advice for a first time cruiser you'd like to share. All comments are welcome.






Answer :
There's always lots to do on cruise ships in general. They schedule all kinds of activities throughout every day you're at sea or in port. On Carnival ships, they have a daily newsletter called Carnival Capers, which lists and describes the various activities throughout the day.

You can also look up your cruise on Carnival's website and see a list of excursions each port of call offers. Also, on the first day or so, the cruise director will lead a presentation about the various excursions and will be available for you to ask questions. As cruise director, he or she will have gone on every excursion offered in the ports of call on the ship's itinerary. And, they usually recommend certain activities as being the best for athletic people, for adventure, for minimum physical activity, etc. And, they videotape the presentation and replay it on the ship's in-house channel throughout the cruise. So, you don't have to necessarily go to the presentation in person.

You can order your excursion tickets through the excursion desk next to the purser on the main deck. Or, you can order them through your TV, like you would order a pay-per-view movie. Also, realize that some excursions sell out quickly. So, if possible, make up your mind and order your tickets early, so you don't get shut out.







Answer :
You can find answers to all these questions - and more - at CruiseCritic.com. Click on "Boards" at the top of the page, then go to the topic of your choice. I'd suggest, "First Time Cruisers", "Carnival Cruise Lines", "Ports of Call" for starters. You might also want to check "Reviews" [again, at the top of the page] - the "Member Reviews" for your particular ship would be especially helpful.

Have fun!!
